Smart Home & AV Installation in Costa Mesa
Mid-century remodels and small-footprint homes where clean design matters most.
Working in Costa Mesa
Costa Mesa is remodel country. Eastside and Mesa Verde are full of 1950s and 60s homes being taken down to the studs, and that timing is ideal — when the walls are already open for new plumbing and electrical, adding structured cable, in-ceiling speakers, and lighting control costs a fraction of doing it later.
These are also smaller footprints than the county's estate neighborhoods, and that argues for a specific approach: fewer, better-placed elements. One well-designed keypad instead of a gang of switches. In-ceiling speakers that disappear into the plaster rather than boxes on stands. A media room that works beautifully without a dedicated theater's square footage.
The office and creative space along the 55 corridor and around SoBeCa brings a steady stream of commercial work too — conference room AV, access control, and business-grade networking, which run on the same fundamentals as residential with stricter uptime requirements.

What we're asked for most here
Ordered by what Costa Mesa properties actually tend to need first.
Smart Home Automation
One system that runs your lighting, climate, audio, shades, cameras, and entertainment — controlled from a wall keypad, your phone, or your voice, anywhere in the world.
Learn moreHome Theater
A private cinema engineered end to end — acoustics, sightlines, seating, calibrated projection, and one-button control. Modeled in 3D before we touch your house.
Learn moreNetworking & WiFi
Wall-to-wall and perimeter WiFi coverage on a hardwired backbone — the layer every other smart system depends on, engineered properly so nothing else in your house has an excuse to fail.
Learn moreLighting Control
Centralized lighting that replaces walls of switches with a single elegant keypad — scenes designed room by room, so every space is lit the way it was meant to be.
Learn moreCircadian Rhythm Lighting
Lighting that follows the sun indoors — warm at sunrise, crisp daylight-white at midday, and warm again by evening — automatically, every day of the year.
Learn moreMotorized Shades
Shades that track the sun on their own — lowering to cut afternoon glare, rising to give back the view, closing at sunset — so your house is never too bright or too hot.
Learn moreSecurity Cameras
Camera systems designed around real coverage — approach paths, entry points, and blind spots — with recording you own, viewing from anywhere, and access control that tells you exactly who came and went.
Learn moreMedia Room Design
A dedicated theater gets used on Saturdays. A media room gets used five nights a week — and it's a harder room to engineer, because it has to work with the lights on, with twelve people in it, and with sun coming through the windows.
Learn moreSystem Rescue & Takeover
You bought a beautiful house with a system nobody will support. The original dealer doesn't return calls, half of it doesn't work, and nobody left you a password. We take those systems over — and most of the time we can fix them rather than replace them.

“I had the pleasure of working with Ashkan on multiple AV installations in the past 10+ years. His team performed a complete update of the media room which includes a multi-screen projection home theater, music server, whole house audio, dedicated 2Ch HiFi system, as well as Crestron automation for AV, lighting & shades. The most recent project is a second HT AV system for the family room/kitchen remodel. It's a complex installation & we're very happy with the job. Ashkan is always professional, responsive & reliable with excellent after sales/installation supports. Highly recommended.”David NgOrange County · Home theater & whole-house audioVerified Google review
“I have worked with Ashkan Baghaee for over seven years. He and his team installed and since have maintained the AV, WiFi, and camera systems at our house. They at all times have been effective, professional, and responsive. I have recommended Ashkan to numerous neighbors, friends, and relatives, and those who have worked with him have provided very positive reports. I will continue to recommend Ashkan to anyone in need of his services.”Don DickersonOrange County · AV, WiFi & camerasVerified Google review

Ashkan has always made himself available and been quick to help with any AV issues. A Pro from start to finish and he will stay with you to make sure your happy.

Common questions from Costa Mesa homeowners
Do you install smart home systems in Costa Mesa?
Yes — Costa Mesa is part of our regular service area and we work there routinely. If you're mid-remodel, get us in before drywall. Structured cable, speaker runs, and lighting home-runs added during an existing remodel cost a fraction of retrofitting them into a finished house. Call (949) 275-1232 or request a free quote and we'll walk the property with you.
Which neighborhoods in Costa Mesa do you cover?
All of them, including Eastside Costa Mesa, Mesa Verde, College Park, SoBeCa District, and 1 more. If you're just outside the city limits, ask — we cover the surrounding communities too.
What does a project in Costa Mesa usually involve?
Costa Mesa is remodel country. Eastside and Mesa Verde are full of 1950s and 60s homes being taken down to the studs, and that timing is ideal — when the walls are already open for new plumbing and electrical, adding structured cable, in-ceiling speakers, and lighting control costs a fraction of doing it later. We start with a free on-site consultation so the proposal reflects your actual property rather than a generic package.
How quickly can you get out to Costa Mesa?
Usually within a few days for an initial consultation. We're based in Orange County, so we're not driving in from another county — that also means we're around for service after the install, which matters more than most people expect.
